Today's license-happy update for Yellow Version wasn't enough for the Taiko Team crew to reveal, as the notice of a future mobile-rooted collaboration event is in planning for this coming Fall!

After the inclusion of tracks and events concerning gacha games such as Puzzle & Dragons and Chain Chronicle, later in 2017 it will be the time to shine in Taiko for LIBER Entertainment's A3! (エースリー), the male idol-raising game whose title is an abbreviation for 'Act, Addict, Actors'. From the looks of it, the collaboration is up to add both songs and Petit Chara/custom dancers for them, but we'll have to wait a little bit more in order to know how is being set up...
